"You know you are a cyclist when you find yourself leading a group of
cyclists down a mountain at 60km/h on Google Maps."

I work as a cycling guide near Riccione in Italy for 2 months every
spring. Earlier this year we met the Google Car and I made a mental note
to take a peek later in the year. That peek was yesterday and there I am
in a red helmet at the front of the group. You can see three guys on my
wheel, there are about another 8 riders some way behind me.

The name of the road we were on translates roughly to "The Pink Pedal".
Quite apt for Italy given the "pink jersey".
